Hummus is an Egyptian food dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas or other beans, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Homemade hummus is easy to make. Homemade Hummus Trio is 3 flavored delight !
I usually don't ask my Hubby R1 to go to the grocery store to get stuff for me. He always ends up with too many items in the shopping cart.. a lot more than what I had asked him to bring. R1 would always throw a tub of hummus in the cart as he loves to have them with chips at home. That was until I figured out these simple hummus recipes. Honestly this tastes way better than anything we tasted or have found at the store and that brings us to the post of the day ... Homemade Hummus Trio.
- Cilantro & Lime Hummus: Fresh Cilantro & Lime makes this Hummus to die for, great for a snack option or appetizer at the next party.
- Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus :In this fresh take on classic hummus, we blend in roasted red bell peppers for bright color and smoky flavor. Spread it on a wrap, add some grilled veggies and relish it.
- Garlicky Hummus :Make this healthy garlic hummus and pair it with whole wheat pita bread or Veggies for a delicious fiber-filled snack.
These Homemade Hummus Trios are unique in flavor and acts as a perfect accompaniment while entertaining your guests.
